Hi, I am looking at a 987.1 with a Terracotta interior in Arctic Silver Metallic. The car is not local and I have not seen a Terracotta interior in person. If anyone is in Dallas and has a Terracotta interior, I'd love to come by and check it out! Let me know.

Thanks

I had a C4S cab with a terracotta/black interior. In person, it's a very nice color. In photos it always looks like some crazy orange color.
Don't go by photos! Good luck finding one to check out - it really is nice!

The fact that the "signature" color combo on the Carerra GT was arguably silver/terracota tells you all you need to know IMO. Striking combo. Exotic. Different. Rare. Exclusive. But colors are so personal and in my experience terracota can be a love-it-or-hate-it proposition. I wouldn't hesitate to hit up your local dealer/PCA regional club and see if they can't put you in contact with someone they know who has terracota. I supsect they would be more than happy to try to help.

Agree 100% with Dr. Bill that terracota doesn't always photograph accurately, but there are plenty of decent CGT photos on line in GT Silver/Terracota that can give you a close approximation. For example, see:

Good luck!

An added point - if the car has deviated black carpet it's much better. The terracotta carpet will show dirt more easily. And it's a bit much red in the interior.

Agree with Dr. Bill on both his comments. My 997.1 Turbo had the terracotta/black leather combo, & I received many compliments on the interior. It was very nice & definitely unique. Photos of the interior always looked mediocre & sort of an orange color, which it's not. I've seen cars with Terracotta carpet & I think that's too much IMHO. Think of a terracotta tile or pot, just darker & that will give you more of an idea of what the colour is like. My turbo had a lot of carbon fiber which went with it really well.

Thanks all for the replies! I have heard that the color is better in person than in photos, which is good news as I like it in photos as well. The car is actually for my girl and she is excited about the loud interior, I'm just excited to play with the car when I can steal it from her! I do think breaking up the color with some black mats etc. is a good plan, will look into that if this particular car works out.

I did something like that with my 981 Cayman that had the full red leather interior (lots of red!). Got a set of CocoMats in black with flecks of red. They do offer a Black/Terra #56 that might work for you:

Terracotta is my favorite.

Well the car fell through. PPI went well but the owner and I couldn't come to terms on the value of the car. The search continues!

Wait a few days. He'll call you. ;-)
